What a great call this morning. We discussed two topics:
First, allegations have emerged that Bell Canada is throttling traffic to DSL wholesalers. A group of enterprising folks on the DSL Reports forum have tracked this, and it's causing quite a stink. Consensus among our callers: transparency is the real issue. If the service provider is going to shape traffic, then customers deserve to know.
Second, the New Yorker has published an extensive piece on the death of the newspaper. We didn't get Mark Evans on the line, but boy we had some good discussion. It would be fair to say that more than a few of us thought that the New Yorker's position was a little overstated.
See you tomorrow!
